"LIVE THE ABUNDANT LIFE"
It Is Better To Be Alone, Than In the Wrong Company
Tell me who your best friends are, and I will tell you who you are. If
you run with wolves, you will learn how to howl. But, if you associate
with eagles, you will learn how to soar to great heights. "
A mirror reflects a man's face, but what he is really like is shown by
the kind of friends he chooses."
The simple but true fact of life is that you COULD become like those
with whom you closely associate - for the good and the bad.
The less you associate with some people, the more your life will improve.
Any time you tolerate mediocrity in others, it increases your mediocrity.
An important attribute in successful people is their impatience with
negative thinking and negative acting people.
As you grow, your associates will change. Some of your friends will
not want you to go on. They will want you to stay where they are.
Friends that don't help you climb, will want you to crawl.
Your friends will stretch your vision or choke your dream. Those that
don't increase you will eventually decrease you. Consider this: Never
receive counsel from unproductive people.
Never discuss your problems with someone incapable of contributing to
the solution, because those who never succeed themselves are always
first to tell you how.
Not everyone has a right to speak into your life.
You are certain to get the worst of the bargain when you exchange
ideas with the wrong person.
Don't follow anyone who's not going anywhere. With some people you
spend an evening: with others you invest it.
Be careful where you stop to inquire for directions along the road of life.
Wise is the person who fortifies his life with the right friendships.
Happy moments? Praise God; Difficult moments? Seek God; Quiet moments?
Worship God; Painful moments? Trust God; Every moment? Thank God!
If you see people without a smile today, give them one of yours.
